Let Us Prey


Hands down, I am a sucker for irony. It is probably one of my favorite means of humor.
One of my friends from high school used to always make me laugh with his praying mantis impression... which was almost identical to his velociraptor impression, but no one ever pointed that out.
I talked to him for a while yesterday, and then when I got home, there, sitting on the stair to my front porch was a praying mantis. I ran in the house, came out and she was gone. I decided to go ahead and grab my CF card out of the cup holder in my car just in case I found her. And there on the window of my car, she was waiting for me.

I always thought it was "praying" mantis (maybe because in Spanish is "mantis religiosa"?)

Ah! You are so right! Thanks for keeping an eye out for me! I am keeping the title though, I want to pretend that I am witty... when in reality it was an article title in a Time or Newsweek or something years back.
